Has my chin implant been improperly placed?

Asked By:sara31509 in El Cajon, CA

It's been a year since my chin implant. I can feel the ends of my implant sticking out of the bottom of my jaw and is sensitive on those ends. Is this normal? My doctor keeps insisting that this is normal in some cases due to the implant being a little long for my face.
